Ten Hag was dismissed from his post on Monday after a dismal start to the campaign at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils 14th in the Premier League following Sunday’s 2-1 loss to West Ham United and without a win three games into the Europa League campaign. Slot battled the former Ajax boss four times in the Eredivisie but the duo only squared off once in the Premier League following the former’s appointment at Liverpool. The Reds inflicted a damaging 3-0 defeat on United at Old Trafford at the start of September and Ten Hag failed to recover. Speaking ahead…
Manchester United are set to appoint the Sporting manager as their new boss after wielding the axe to bring Erik ten Hag’s sorry spell at the club to an end on Monday. The Red Devils have suffered their worst start to a Premier League season and are 14th in the table after winning just three of their opening nine matches. And they have told Sporting they are willing to stump up the £8.3million required to end Amorim’s spell in Portugal in the hope he will be in his post at Old Trafford by the weekend. Ruben Amorim breaks silence on…
Novak Djokovic has spent much of the past decade at the top of the tennis rankings, but his days as the No 1 in men’s tennis are over. The Serbian maestro finished last year at the top of the ATP Rankings, ending the year with victory at the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals as he confirmed he was still the man to beat on the men’s tour. He won three of the four Grand Slam titles last year and looked set to defy the sands of time by continuing to fend off the next generation of stars. Yet 2024…
It is alarming how quickly the tide can turn. Rarely in football does the status quo remain unchanged for long, and so it is proving for Liverpool as their injury concerns steadily begin to mount. It was not so long ago that debate raged over how Arne Slot should divide minutes between his forward line to ensure no one was left aggrieved by a lack of game time. Now it is a question of which of the Reds’ attackers are in a position to go again ahead of a punishing run of four fixtures in the space of just 11…
Martin Odegaard is accelerating his recovery from an ankle injury to deliver a timely fitness boost to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. There is also hope that both Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber, who limped off during Sunday’s draw against Liverpool, will not be long-term absentees. Gunners captain Odegaard has been missing since damaging ankle ligaments when playing for Norway in September. But the key midfielder is taking a significant step towards fitness, with the 25-year-old scheduled to return to training on the grass this week. There is doubt over when Arteta will deem Odegaard to be fit for selection, however.…
Jannik Sinner has openly stated that he plans to continue playing tennis for another 15 years until he is between 35 and 40 years old. World No. 1 said he hoped his body could hold on and that he and his team would make choices that would extend his life. Sinner, who turned 23 in August, seems intent on replicating the Big Three’s incredible perseverance: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer. Sinner has won seven titles in 2024, including two majors, and has a 65-6 record so far in what has been an incredible season. Sinner stated in an…
Jannik Sinner has been plunged back into his worst nightmare over his failed drug tests and recent history tells us it will take a toll on him physically. After he pulled out of the Paris Masters with a virus, the Italian world No 1 is now battling to get back to full fitness for next month’s ATP Finals and that challenge will test him both physically and mentally. Sinner twice tested positive for an anabolic steroid in March but on August 20 an independent tribunal determined he was not to blame and imposed no punishment. The tribunal accepted Sinner’s explanation…
Novak Djokovic is closing on qualification for the ATP Finals in Turin – but will the seven-time champion play in the end-of-season event? Taylor Fritz became the fifth place to seal their play in the ATP Finals on Tuesday, as the American cemented his position after Andrey Rublev lost his opening match at the Paris Masters against Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo. The 7-6(6) 7-6(5) win for Cerundolo represented a hammer blow to Rublev’s hopes of making the ATP Finals, with the Russian struggling to find form and consistency at this vital stage of the season. Rublev is currently in the final…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has reiterated that Liverpool “means everything” to him, with the right-back still feeling the same way as he did when he was six years old. As the talk around his contract situation mounts up, Alexander-Arnold has pledged his ongoing love for Liverpool and insisted that he still feels the same about the club as he did 20 years ago. The right-back was speaking to beIN Sports earlier this week when he was asked how much playing for the Reds means to him. “It’s the same as what I’ve felt when I was six, when I first pulled the…
Liverpool continue the defence of their Carabao Cup crown on Wednesday evening when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion in the competition’s fourth round. The Reds, who beat West Ham United 5-1 in the third round, are meeting Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton for the first time, although they will host the Seagulls in the Premier League this Saturday as well. After a challenging week which saw victories against Chelsea and RB Leipzig and a draw with Arsenal, Arne Slot’s side will be keen to continue their positive start to the campaign at the American Express Stadium. Liverpool have still lost…
